Karma - real or woo? 37 Replies

Someone mentioned karma in a different discussion earlier today and that got me thinking - how many atheists out there believe in or dictate their lives with a consideration toward the idea of karma?…

A lecture by Richard Dawkins

Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests". I suspect that Dr John Habgood, the Archbishop of York, probably belongs to the third of these groups, so I shall begin with them.

The "no-contests" are rightly reconciled to the fact that religion cannot compete with science on its own ground. The

Compare prayer to a lucky horseshoe

The dictionary defines the word "superstition" in this way:

An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome. [ref]
We have all seen plenty of superstitions. There are the supersContinue

"Andrew Brown on the Catholic church: it’s no worse than other child abusers"

From Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution Is True blog article,"Andrew Brown on the Catholic church: it’s no worse than other child abusers"


"The Guardian’s resident moron, Andrew Brown, has outdone himself this week, publishing a column designed to put “Catholic child abuse in proportion.” It’s a disgusting and self-serving piece of faitheistic tripe, and i

Can it be proved that God does not exist? part.1

This is part 1 in my series of proofs against god. If you like it, please follow my history and philosophy blog.



Proving that God does not exist is usually something that is not pursued by atheists because it is not required in logic. While this is true, I highly recommend arguments against the existence of god. They put the believers on the defensive and make their task… Continue

For the Gamers..Red Faction Guerrilla Review

I started playing Red Faction on the PS2. Not much to it. Just run and shoot. But since I enjoy shooter games it was fun to play. Now, that I finally have a PS3, I decided to add Red Faction Guerrilla to my collection. The missions are very different from the last one. Duh. So I was a bit skeptical but excited. In this version the missions takes place on the planet Mars. At first I thought that was a little goofy but I gave it a try. I've only play about 8-10 hours of this game so far and I am a… Continue

Embracing the power of nature

I became an agnostic atheist when I embraced the power of reason and, more important, the power of nature in its astonishing complexity. If there is something I really believe in, it's that the world is too mysterious and complex for a mind as primitive as our own to fully understand. No supernatural explanation can ever be as beautiful and refreshing as the natural one.




Frater Ravus once said: "Faith does not give you the answers; it just stops you asking the questions.". If… Continue

Our Sons and Daughters Future


For the last few weeks I have been working out of town and have been too tired to take the time to really write anything. I have been following and reading the many articles on the Green Atheists and the global state of affairs. Not to be a pessimist but a realist I must admit the majority of articles paint a rather bleak picture. Humans and the other species we share this planet with appear to have a grim looking future.

Battle of the Babies - An examination of a Genesis Story that should go on the Jerry Springer Show. O.o

Okay. While on my quest to read the whole bible, I was struck by a story in genesis that had an element I had missed as a theist. In specific, the breeding war and rivalry between sisters Rachel and Leah. O.o I thought it would make good material for the Jerry Springer Show... so I wrote a made up script of putting the characters, and all 11 of their children, on the show. lol


Enjoy! ^_^
